What is the mind, really? How often do we really look at our own mind or experience with fresh eyes in the moment? Are we really perceiving anger, or fear, or just trying to make them go away? Do we look at and listen to the people we encounter every day with full attention? Why is meditation so powerful and healing and how can we bring it into our lives? How can we free ourselves from our limiting perceptions and habits, both inner and outer? Questions such as these form the core of my work and I have always been fascinated by them.

I work as a Wellbeing Coach at the Free Spirit Collective to help people of all ages to live fully in the present and to transcend their limitations. I have been incredibly passionate about self-transformation ever since I first had a transcendental experience in meditation when I was 15. Since then, my studies have taken me on many adventures: from Western approaches to understanding mind and self, to Advaita Vedanta, Gnana Yoga, and much more in between.

I began my career as a teacher, bringing Mindfulness and meditation into schools and helping the children in my care to find access to peace, clarity and insight by turning within and shifting their state of consciousness. I taught workshops and courses on Mindfulness to children, teachers and parents for five years, as well as creating curriculums for Wellbeing and PSHE. In the UK, I also worked for the British Lawn Tennis Association, creating a Mindfulness-based program for one of Britain’s top five players.

Now, I apply advanced principles of Mindfulness to many different areas to help others to flourish. I apply these principles to emotional issues, intellectual development, spiritual growth, addiction, transforming habits, sports, parenting and more. I am also an avid writer, currently in the process of publishing my first two books, one on mindful parenting and the other on the nature of mind and transformation.

I aim to help my clients to experience direct insight, here and now, into the simple mystery of the essence of the self. From this transcendent perspective, I find that the many troubles and difficulties of human life can be seen in a fresh way and energy and insight is accessed which can transform them.

I truly believe that ‘presence takes care of everything’, but I think that to discover what this really means is extraordinary and mysterious. In my work I use discussions, meditation exercises and other activities to open up this understanding. I have a very light-hearted approach, so that difficult topics can be explored in a relaxed and enjoyable way, with humour, honesty and care.

As well as 1-1 and group work with children and adults, I enjoy delivering talks and workshops on topics which align with my areas of interest.
